Non-point source (NPS) pollution refers to both water and air pollution from diffuse sources. Non-point source water pollution affects a water body from sources such as polluted runoff from agricultural areas draining into a river, or wind-borne debris blowing out to sea.Non-point source air pollution affects air quality from sources such as smokestacks or car tailpipes.Although these pollutants have originated from a point source, the long-range transport ability and multiple sources of the pollutant make it a non-point source of pollution.on-point source pollution can be contrasted with point source pollution, where discharges occur to a body of water or into the atmosphere at a single location.
Much has been written contrasting Uber's promise that drivers can make $90,000 a year with how much the ride-sharing company's drivers are really making. Not much has been written, however, about how much drivers earn working for Lyft, an on-demand car service similar to Uber. Lyft says its drivers can make $35 an hour. Vox editor Timothy Lee decided to conduct an experiment to see how much he could make. After a week, Lee had driven 54 passengers and made $596. His earnings came to about $10.50 an hour.
Depending on whom you ask, driving for Lyft or UberX is either a gold mine or an exploitative labor practice. Uber last year infamously claimed many of its drivers made more than $90,000 per year, but it did not account for the cost of driver expenses like gas and car maintenance.uess people have the misconception of Uber drivers making tons of money due to their advertising. In reality, it ranges from $3 to $35 an hour depending on the distance of the ride. For example, if the ride is long (e.g. San Francisco Airport to Mountain View), Uber pays me about $35 after fees.
